Red Hook Demolition Porn Update: All Gone

The demolition work at the Revere Sugar Plant site in Red Hook continues--and will go on for a long time--but all traces of the iconic dome have vanished. There is a farm of tanks on the property, which Thor Equities blowtorch-bearing crews (okay, the Breeze crews hired by Thor CEO Joe Sitt) are now laboriously cutting apart. Then, there are the brick buildings. The wood frame structures. And, the plant itself, which has a smokestack which must be laboriously dismantled. Excellent demolition porn opportunities for months to come. No word on what Mr. Sitt intends to build on the laboriously cleared parcel or whether he will try to sell the cleared land at a profit to another developer.
